MILE RHEA, the distinguished
French actress, will appear in the
Opera House in this city on Monday
night, May 9th. The Mansfield, Ohio,
Herald Of March 18th thus speaks oil
hers: Mile Rhea is a charming lady.
AS an artist there Is no question as to
her greatness. Coming to America five
seasons ago without the blare of trnm-
pets, and the advance advertisements
known only to American managers, she
Mt once achieved instantaneous success
rs great actress, besides the distinction
OF having been received into the very
best society i'm Washington, New York
Chicago, Detroit and other large cities
distinction rarely accorded to any nc
tress.
As the audience saw the talented lad,
rs the Notwithstanding and bril-
liant conversationist--she Is found thu
same in private. Her silyery laugh Of
her charming English, made so by hei
delightful French accent, makes her 1
cow ersationalist not soon forgotten.
Mile Rhea has been thorough,
Americanzed. and she is ripe shola
in our political and social life.
"Americans have been so kind TO M
that sometimes forget mabelle France
and wish to live in America all tn
time" said Rhea, ."but will go back t.
my country in June to remain there.
"What part OF America do you lik
best2"
"The whole country; everywhere
North or re south is all the same; every
body is so kind. Your Washington is
grand city, and New York wonderful
wonderful. Wherever ! find American
ladies and gentlemen, all the country !
the same to me. Ishaii ever remembe
America and will always long to re
turn.n

THE copy of Sherman's Nashville
speech from which we make extracts
this week is from the National Review
md tits said that the speech was writ
ten and handed to the editor OF the Re-
view before it was delivered in the
hall. This accounts for the fact that
Mr. Sherman's compliment (?( to Gov
Taylor does not appear in the Review
As reported in the American, he spoke
OF Gov. Taylor in this way:
| am glad to say a word Of good will
republican as | am, for your governor
OF Tennessee. Great and prolonged
applause. He read from Gov. Taylor
message and endorsed it.
Certai My Col. Colyar and his followers
ought to be happy now. Sherman en-
dorses Coy. Taylor and so does Col
Colyar and we take it that no man needs
better radical endorsers. Mr.. Sherman
has been held up by Col. Colyar ant
country papers which follow him as al
enemy of the Blair bill and yet he an
nounces himself as in favor OF the bill
and openly applsuds Gov. Taylor for hi
treachery. The people Of Tennessee
cannot be deceived by such pretentions
There is no place for Col. Colyar ant
Gov. Taylor but in the radical party
they in which have voluntarily placed
themselves.

tells us that the type and material on
which the CHRONICLE is printed care

doubtless the same is true of the Tobacco

use to which the presses, type and

made to express the sentiments and
defend the interests OF Southern men,

turned to Washington" sees nothing
but Yankee superiority, and declares
that nc good can come out OF oui

POSITIVELY DISHONEST.
A Tale Of a Poor Heraer's Wages and How
He Got IL.

The following story, illustrative of the
honesty of the American capitalist and the
dishonesty of the Mexican laborer is true
A wealthy American had employed a
Mexican herder. The American owed the
Mexican $50, and as money was plentiful
with him, began to devise means of a
cheaper settlement. One evening while
the two men were in the kitchen the Amer
ican took down coffee mill and said:
"This is the most wonderful machine in
the world. It was recently invented in
the United States and is valued at 800.
See here! Instead of, having to crush
your coffee with stone, you put it in this
way and grind it up. Inever saw anything
like it. Old man Jones over here wants it
80 bad he don't know what to do. Offered
me hundred dollars for it, but l would
not accept the Offer"
The Mexican listened attentively, but
assumed an air of indifference. The Amer
ican left the mill on the shelf. When he
got up in the morning he found that the
! Mexican and the coffee mill had disap-
peared. "You cant place any confidence
in the honesty of Mexican" said he.
"That fellow is positively dishonest. All
of these wage-workers are just like him. y
When the Mexican returned with the
mill and asked for his $50, he went to jail
for two years for theft. Red hagism was
stopped.
The $50? Well =.

Well, Waking Up Again F,

! WASHINGTON, April 4.-The supreme
court Of the United States to-day decided
that the tax assessments levied on the
shares of the stockholders in the National
banks by the laws of the state of New York
were valid. This being test case, the
banks will now pay the taxes, amounting
to several million dollars. Similar cases
exist in other states, and this determines
the point that National bank shares are
not exempt from state taxation. Dissent

No humane and enlightened person caz

and animal as to the possible solving Of
socialistic problems.

Caiphais was the name Of the High
Priest who paid the blood money to Judas
and who bounded on the ignorant people
to the orucifiIion Of CHRIST. After the
deed was done and Judas presented him
sci at the Temple for "social recogni-
ton" and "praise" for his infamy he was
soourged from it's gates.
From the Modern Caiphias, the Chicago 7rib-
vne, April 10, 1885:
Mr.. Powderly's emphatic reputation OF
the Socialist wing Of the Labor party was
little late. II would have been much
more to his credit and the credit of the
Knights of Labor If his action had been
taken before the election. He now occu.

suspicion of having waited to see which

AKnave, an Ass and q Fsol.

At a meeting in Chicago on March first,
lawyer Kretzinger in the course of speech,
after fercely denouncing the anarchists,
advocated an amendment to the natural
ization laws of the United States which
would compel every emigrant from Europe
on his arrival in port to "raise his right
hand and swear that he had never been a
rebel against his native government be-
fore being allowed to land on these shores. v
He added: "A rebel in Europe is pretty
certain to be rebel in America also"
Many of the best friends of American
liberty and institutions had been rebels
against their native governments. Kosci'
usko, rebelled against the Emperor of Rus
sia. So Count Pulaski. Both fought fol
American independence and one Of them
had died for it. The Marquis Of Lafay
ette was by no means loyal subject OF
the French monarchy. De Kalb, Steuben
Commodore Barry, Paul Jones, and other
men who aided the cause of the revolted
colonies were not loyal to their native gov
ernments in any remarkable degree. Dur
ing our late civil war America gladly ac'
cepted the services Of men like Frederick
Hecker, Franz Sigel, Carl schurz, and
Thomas Francis Meagher, to maintain the
Union. All these men were rebels in the
countries from which they had emigrated
to the United States. How would it have
done to have made them hold up theil
hands, as Mr.. Kretzinger proposed, and
swear that they had not been rebels
against the European governments that
had oppressed themy
